Rare Books

The Stanford Medical History Center has a treasure trove of
over 7,600 rare books related to health care going back to the
13th century.

The rare and fragile state of these books requires that
they not circulate. However, they are available to be viewed
on-site. For most of our materials researchers are welcome to use
History Center's digitization equipment to reproduce the content.

This collection includes:

herbals

illustrated anatomies

guides for midwives

historical medical dictionaries

English, German, French, Latin, Arabic, Italian, and
many other languages
